No one ever said marriage was a cakewalk. But some do wonder if the Christian view of marriage is too restrictive. First, too restrictive in who it relates to—i.e., marriage as applied exclusively between a man and a woman. Or, second, some wonder if the Bible is too restrictive regarding divorce. And it’s certainly no secret, that when you compare what the Bible has to say about these topics with today’s culture, it’s clear, the viewpoints are worlds apart. What’s even more sad, is there are those whose faith has been deconstructed on account of these topics. These two worlds—namely, the world of Scripture and our world are too far apart for some to comprehend. Consequently, many of those who are quick to go the way of culture have swept Christianity into what they consider the irrelevant dustbin of history. And make no mistake. Once the Christian begins thinking the Bible is unfair to confine marriage to a man and a woman, or it’s unreasonable in what it has to say about divorce and remarriage, it’s just a matter of time before doubts, compromise, and perhaps even apostasy kick in. And when you add to this all the churches who have dropped the ball in how they handled the couple going through a divorce, by disciplining them and making them a public spectacle, it’s no wonder some have left the church feeling shamed, confused, and rejected as they thought, “Christianity no longer makes sense to me.” So, how are we to navigate these difficult issues? And how can we make sense of topics such as marriage, divorce, and remarriage? Well, today, we are going to find out.

In a world where Christianity no longer makes sense this channel exists to show that it still does. As a pastor/apologist and one who was a near apostate after suffering through his own season of gut-wrenching doubt, Bobby now seeks to make sense of Christianity, by helping thoughtful believers resolve doubts when presented to them about (1) God, (2) the Bible, (3) Morality, (4) the Church, and (5) Culture.
